Industrial property rights, software

We reserve all intangible property rights or industrial property rights, in particular copyright, patents, utility patents and design patents, trademark and design rights in our products and modifications thereof as well as our software, user documentation, drafts, samples and other product and sales documents. The stated products and documents may only be disclosed to third parties with our prior written consent.

For the use of software, updates and releases installed in our goods or delivered separately or to be downloaded we grant the customer a non-exclusive, non-transferrable license for the agreed upon use typical for the product in line with the user documentation. For the use of any software, besides these GTC, m&h's software license agreement shall apply, which is available at http://mh-support.com/LB as well as http://mh-support.com/AGB, which we are happy to provide to the customer at his request also in print form. To the extent that the GTC and the software license agreement have different provisions, the software license agreement takes precedence, for example regarding the rights of guarantee granted by m&h for software. All industrial property rights in the software remain in our possession and may not be copied, modified, reset, decompiled, may not be converted into a form that is readable for humans, may not be disclosed to third parties, may not be linked to hardware or software products of third parties without our written consent; furthermore, our copyright information may not be removed from such. To the extent that our goods contain software of third parties, the software license provisions of the third-party manufacturers must be complied with while using the software. To the extent that the customer would like to enter into a software maintenace contract, this must be entered into separately with us.

All logos, trademarks, proprietary notices as well as safety indications and warning notices must not be changed, covered or removed by the customer.

If a third party asserts undisputed and legally valid claims against the customer on the basis of infringement of an industrial property caused by products manufactured by us and used in accordance with the contract, we shall at our discretion and at our expense either acquire the right of exploitation for the respective products, change the products in a way that the industrial property rights of third parties are no longer infringed upon or shall exchange the products. Additional claims for damages shall follow Article 8 of these GTC.

M&h's obligations according to Article 9 d) are only applicable if that the customer is not responsible himself for the infringement of the industrial property, in particular due to unforeseen use, unauthorized modification or the coupling of the product with products of a third party. The customer must inform us immediately in writing regarding claims asserted by any third parties. We reserve the right to take defense measures and carry out settlement negotiations. In consultation with the customer, stopping the use of the product is to be carried out for reasons of mitigation of damage or for other important reasons.

Retention of title, passing of the risk

Ownership in the goods remains with us until full payment is made.

For a potential resale of our delivery prior to full payment of the purchase price, the purchase price claim against a third party is transferred to us.

In the event that our delivery is processed or mixed prior to full payment of the purchase price, we acquire co-ownership in the new item according to the value of the processed goods.

During the duration of the retention of title, the customer must insure the delivery item against fire, water and breakage.

The customer is not authorized to pledge the reserved property, assign such by way of security or make other decisions that endanger the property of m&h. If a third party also acquires rights in the reserved property, the customer already now assigns all rights arising from such in the reserved property to us.

The risk of accidental loss or deterioration of the goods is transferred to the customer with shipping of the goods ex works, even if freight-paid delivery was agreed upon. If shipping is delayed due to the customer's fault, the risk is transferred to the customer already on the day such goods are ready for shipping.

Applicable law, place of jurisdiction, other provisions

For the legal relationship between us and the customer the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply exclusively while excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

Exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes, disagreements or claims arising from or in connection with the contractual relationship is Ravensburg, Germany. This also applies if the customer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany or if he has moved his habitual residence abroad after having entered into the contract. We reserve the right to bring an action against the customer in any other place of jurisdiction.

The exclusive place of fulfillment for all obligations arising from the contractual relationship is Ravensburg, Gemrany.

These GTC are valid for an indefinite period of time. The individual contracts/orders can only be terminated by the respective party to the contract for good cause, and claims for damages connected to the reason for termination shall remain reserved. Good cause for termination is given in particular if(i) the customer violates his contractual or legal obligations and if such violations are not remedied by the customer within thirty (30) days after written warning,(ii) if the ability to pay of the customer is significantly impaired, for example if insolvencey proceedings regarding the assets of the customer are initiated,(iii) the shareholding of the customer in the company changes in a way that it is acquired by one of our competitors or(iv) our good reputation is threatened to be damaged as a result of the behavior of the customer.

Assigning of claims of the customer against us from contract or on the basis of laws requires our preior written consent in order to take effect; such consent will not be unfairly withheld if legitimate interest is given.

Should invididual provisions of these GTC or parts thereof be or become invalid in part or as a whole, the validity of the remaining GTC is not affected by such. Valid regulations are to replace the invalid provisions that come as close as possible to the GTC as a whole as well as the other contractual agreements in a factual, legal and economic regard. The same approach applies in the event that there is a gap in the GTC.

Additional agreements and deviating agreements must be made in writing. This also applies to waiving the written form requirement.
